Speaking as someone who is 100% against the death penalty and any sort of human suffering as punishment, even for the most evil billionaires and unfathomably cruel war criminals - no one forced them to get into the death tube. So many people (who are infinitely more innocent) die from similar suffering every day that I really can't be bothered to feel bad for a billionaire and sketchy submarine tour business owner when they fall victim to their own hubris. It sucks for their families, especially the ones that were suckered into the sub trip, but the world will be an objectively better place with these people removed from it.
Leftists are correctly pointing out that when a boat carrying migrants capsizes in the Mediterranean and kills hundreds, the response from white folks and western media ranges from mostly silence to “well they shouldn’t have gotten into a dangerous boat and tried to come to Europe iLlEgAlLy”.
At first sight there's a point to be made here about trust in institutions that you'd think "Well surely if this was dangerous it wouldn't be allowed" or something, like if this was a tourist dive bell that went wrong I'd argue I wouldn't get in it because I have 0 trust in institutions but your average person, yeah sure.
Hell I'd extend that even to the "in case of death we ain't owe you shit" waiver as those seem way too common. But at the point where it says "the submarine is not tested or certified by any regulatory body" in plain text and you don't have some sort of mental disability that's on you, that's entirely of on you, if the words "untested, unregulated submarine" don't register to you as "stay clear" there's nobody left to blame and also it's hilarious
I think of how Michael Jackson went through a bunch of doctors that told him no until he found the last. At some point these guys break through every guard rail right until it sent them to Davey Jones Locker in a ready-made coffin. The insidious thing is how this much concentrated wealth (and markets in general) are the ultimate Yes-Man that shapes the whole social fabric these individuals inhabit, right up until it kills them.
